Description

Time was, data governance meant a few well-known things: security, master data management, and lineage, all geared toward so-called data stewards. Today, you’ll need to add business glossaries and data catalogs geared to all users, in support of self-service. But even that doesn’t capture the full range of data governance in today’s more complex data world. The EU’s GDPR, the need to query data warehouse and data lake together, and the fact that many data relationships and flows are not codified in schema metadata means that fundamental data discovery is part of data governance too.

Andrew Brust tracks data governance’s past and present and offers a glimpse of the future. Join Andrew to learn more about the trends driving new data governance product requirements and the companies that are rising to meet them.
